Flight  Arrangements

  1. Flight arrangements for regional participants are sometimes problematic with adverse consequences resulting. In striving for the optimal travel arrangements, the following are highlighted for particular attention:
    • For reception and dispatch arrangements at the Airport and at REDTRAC, regional participants are to arrive/depart Jamaica via the Norman Manley International Airport (in Kingston) on the recommended travel dates* and the full travel itinerary must be communicated to REDTRAC at the earliest possible time.
    • It is essential that flight arrangements be made well in advance of course assembly dates as late bookings sometimes result in participants arriving after the start of the course or, leaving before the Graduation Exercise. Late arrival or early departure places participants at a disadvantage as valuable contact hours are lost and this jeopardizes the award of a course completion certificate.
    • As a precaution against the inconveniences of delayed or lost luggage, it is strongly recommended that carry-on luggage be utilized for the carriage of essential items and clothing for the first 48-hours of stay.
    • Course participants who arrive in Jamaica before the recommended travel dates,* and participants whose return flights are after the recommended travel dates* are required to occupy temporary ‘off-site accommodation’ as per the details set out at FAQ 9.
